How Vicode works.
Open a project, pick a model, and give it a task. Add notes and skills when they help. Approve what you like, reject what you don't.
Works with your projects
Open a folder and the AI works with your actual files — not pasted snippets or toy examples.
Everything stays inside the folder you opened.
Bring your own model
Run models locally with Ollama, use hosted Ollama, or drop in an OpenAI API key.
Browse the Ollama library and Hugging Face GGUF models in the app.
Project Knowledge
Connect a folder of Markdown notes and answers draw on your project context, with sources cited.
Works with Obsidian vaults.
Skills
Save the instructions you use often — review checklists, style rules, project conventions — and attach them to any run.
Built in, created locally, or imported.
Approvals
File edits and commands wait for your OK. Choose how much autonomy each run gets, from review-everything to full access.
Four levels, one click.
